The Pi-Ku is a tiny three-line poetry form derived from the first three digits of π=3.14. Whoever first wrote using this form is a mystery. It goes something like this:
Line 1: 3 syllables
Line 2: 1 syllable
Line 3: 4 syllables
***
stepping slip
mud
springtime is here
—
baseball bruise
thrown
made a home run
